AKTS Value

Value is all about what a company is worth versus what price it is
available for. If you went into a grocery store and all the bananas were on sale
at half price, they could be considered
undervalued.

INTRINSIC VALUE BASED ON FUTURE CASH FLOWS

It is not possible to calculate the future cash flow value for
Akoustis Technologies. This is due to cash flow or dividend data being
unavailable. The share price is
$6.73.

PRICE RELATIVE TO MARKET

We can also value a company based on what the stock market is willing to pay for
it. This is similar to the price of fruit (e.g. Mangoes or Avocados) increasing
when they are out of season, or how much your home is worth.

Akoustis Technologies's
earnings,

Assets

Liabilities and shares

The 'shares' portion represents any funds contributed by the owners (shareholders) and any profits.

High level of physical assets or inventory.

Debt is covered by short term assets, assets are 2.6x debt.

Historical Debt

Nearly all companies have debt. Debt in itself isn’t
bad,
however if the debt is too high, or the company can’t afford to pay the interest
on its debts this may have impacts in the future.

The graphic below shows equity (available funds) and debt, we ideally want to
see the red area (debt) decreasing.

If there is any debt we look at the companies capability to repay it, and
whether the level has increased over the past 5 years.

AKTS Management

Management is one of the most important areas of a company. We look at
unreasonable CEO compensation, how long the team and board of directors have
been around for and insider trading.
